What are all these trends he hopped on?
artists more than trends. dont get me wrong he influenced a lot of chit too...but SOUND wise, he wasnt a creator like a kanye or even a drake/40 ...he was and is an elite goat tier rapper that usually used the current sound

yeah.. but that doesnt necessarily make him a multi millionaire either. the whole history is weird. i just think jay exaggerated. that state street apartment would be ridiculous to rent now, but back in the early 90s it probably wasnt nearly as much. this is all based on speculation and pocket watching so ymmv

Well he said "I came in this motherfukker a hundred grand strong, nine to be exact from grinding g-packs" So, he didn't claim to be a millionaire before rap.

This was also a year before Reasonable Doubt dropped, paid for by them.


remember ..... this is the same Jay-Z that dropped a bag of 100k cash on kevin liles desk to get Aint No on the nutty professor soundtrack

Examples?

He is accused of riding Kanye's wave for ex...but he was relatively unknown when Jay gave him a feature

Drake a creator?

for jay, of all people, to fix his lips to say some shyt like this. it just reinforces how arrogant and out of touch he is.

made almost nothing but young music for 99% of his career. then drops one old-head album and NOW the culture gotta move on? :laff: once again it's "i moved on to something different, and if you haven't moved on too you're wrong."

PS: he gets no creative credit for WTT... kanye was clearly creative director on that one.
PPS: no old-head credit for AWT either... or we gonna act like jay was "tryna kick knowledge" before he started running with j-elec?
